Description

Want to build a Bing web and image search using Silverlight for Windows Phone 7? Kirupa Chinnathambi of the Expression team shows you just how to do that in this week's episode. Kirupa covers a lot of topics as he builds the app, including how to:

wire up the app

add the image templates

use the Pivot control

apply the built in resources to pick up the selected theme in the phone

The Discussion

The sample does not compile in the WP7 dev tools RTM using the latest version of the silverlight toolkit for windows phone.Bad reference and then complains about the WrapPanel not being a recognised XML attribute.

@Simon (Darkside) Jackson: You need to have the Silverilght 3 Toolkit installed because the video was recorded before we had the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone out. I'll send John an updated link with a revised version of the sample shortly :P

I've installed the "Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit" at http://silverlight.codeplex.com/ then replace the reference to "Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit". And changed the following in MainPage.xaml: xmlns:controlsToolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"It is working fine.

@Dale: How did you get this this to work? I sit for hours trying to figure it out( mind you I have not programming experience). I finally got the app to load, but now when I do a search the app crashes. What am I doing wrong?
